Garden POD DIY
Welcome to Garden Pod DIY
My name is Cecil McFarland and I live in a rural area of Ireland. Perhaps like yourself, I have never been afraid to tackle most DIY jobs. As you will know, most jobs require no more than a little commonsense and a clear idea of what you want to achieve.
During the past year or so, I have been considering a garden pod. I have looked at many designs and options available on the market. Research has shown me that prices range from around £4K for a very basic structure to £5K plus for a pod with a little better finish. Whilst most represent good value, I started to think about building my own.

Checking your frame
The frame nearly finished
I even show the internal cladding
I started off considering purchasing a ready to go framework but, the price tag of around £1K to me was a big chunk of money just to get started. For most DIY enthusiasts the frame structure is the greatest challenge. The method I have used is simple and well within the capability of anyone with average skills. The manual will show that the method I used is easy to follow and effective. It has 24 pages of easy to follow steps and lots of actual photos of each building stage.
